Head of Legal, Superannuation and Investments

If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you've likely heard of AMP. But at a time when society is changing, we are too. We're now a nimbler business with new leadership and thinking.

For us, these are exciting times. There's a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.

**Help people create their tomorrow, while you create yours**

We help people with their banking, super, retirement and finances. Through upturns, downturns, recessions, and major life transitions. Every day, we help people see and make more of their financial potential, so that they can create their tomorrow. And we've been doing it for over 170 years.

If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people.

The Legal & Governance team at AMP provides comprehensive support services through the AMP legal teams, Corporate Governance, Superannuation Trustee Office (STO), Customer Advocate, and the management of outside legal counsel.

Superannuation and Investments (S&I) Legal sits within L&G and is an integral support service to AMP's Superannuation & Investments business unit, the Superannuation Trustee Office, and the Boards involved in the operation and governance of AMP's Superannuation & Investments business.

This role is responsible for leading a high-performing team of lawyers to provide strategic, pragmatic, and commercially viable legal advice to the S&I business and the STO. It involves fostering a collaborative environment, ensuring the team can tackle complex legal challenges, and collaborating with the Head of Legal, Platforms, to support the board of AMP's super trustee, NM Superannuation Proprietary Limited, ensuring compliance and strategic alignment.

Additionally, this role drives transformative changes across the legal team to develop an efficient and effective service delivery model that meets the strategic needs of the S&I business and AMP, while adapting to the evolving regulatory landscape. Leadership in this role ensures the legal team exceeds business expectations, providing robust support in a dynamic environment.

**How you'll make an impact**
- Act as a trusted legal adviser to the S&I business unit's Group Executive and leadership team, partnering to deliver strategic initiatives and enhance legal and regulatory risk management, while advising AMP's super trustee board on S&I matters in collaboration with the Head of Legal, Platforms.
- Lead and develop a high-performing team, fostering a positive culture aligned with AMP's values, and ensure seamless delivery of legal services to the AMP superannuation trustee (STO) and other key stakeholders.
- Build exceptional relationships with key stakeholders, actively participate in business and L&G leadership teams and provide timely updates on key legal matters to the Group General Counsel, exemplifying executive leadership.
- Plan, manage, and deliver legal services for the S&I business, ensuring timely advice on incidents and breaches, supporting the Incident Assessment Group and Breach Review Committee and providing legal assistance for AMP's strategic initiatives, including new business opportunities and acquisitions.
- Provide thought leadership and relevant legal advice aligned with AMP's business strategies, actively manage legal issues and risks in key projects, stay updated on financial services changes, manage conflicts of interest, share important advice with L&G teams, supervise external legal counsel, and drive continuous improvement for efficient legal services delivery.

**What you will bring to the team**
- Legally qualified with current practising certificate
- 10+ years post qualified experience gained in private practice or in-house, relating to financial services
- Extensive experience and outstanding legal skills in superannuation law and practice with a product background and regulatory and compliance environments with the ability to contribute to business plans and strategy.
- Proven ability to drive change, deliver results through leadership and coaching, and present effectively to senior leadership and boards.
- Outstanding presentation skills, experience in advising boards, managing operational risk, and understanding industry trends in wealth management, especially super and pensions.

This role requires a leader who can navigate complex challenges while maintaining a focus on strategic goals and fostering a positive team culture.

**You'll thrive here if...**

If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you'll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset.

Because we run lean, you'll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you'll be closer to the action and executive decisions
